🖇️In our latest submission we look at a review paper whose "authors examine reproducibility and replicability in qualitative research, including hundreds of published papers and the grey literature". According to the editorial assessment, "both reviewers found the article to be technically sound, interesting, and of likely value to the field."

👏 We thank the authors (Nicki Lisa Cole, Sven Ulpts, Agata Bochynska, Eva Kormann, Matthew Good, Barbara Leitner and @tonyRH), reviewers ( @adam42smith) and editors (Adrian Barnett, Kathryn Zeiler) for their efforts and trust.

Introducing our new SORTEE blog series: ‘ECR Asks’, in which ECRs interview experienced SORTEE members

This month, we spoke to Tim Parker about incentive structures in #openscience, #RegisteredReports & how ECRs can make their own commitment to best practices

Preprinting helps accelerate dissemination of scientific knowledge. To what extent do researchers adopt preprinting? And how does this vary by discipline and region?

Together with Narmin Rzayeva and @stephenpinfield, I just published an article answering these questions. https://osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/xdwc4_v2

Our project, led by Sanllorente, is out at Insect Conservation & Diversity:

"A systematic review and meta-analysis on urban arthropod diversity" (https://doi.org/10.1111/icad.12831)

We performed a meta-analysis of means & variances, and explored how methods matter when studying urbanisation. Check it out!
